La Roja's transformation after Wembley and Sevilla dazzles football
After La Roja's performance against England at Wembley and its subsequent stop in Seville, Spanish football has gone from uncomfortable to ecstatic, a transformation that coach Luis de la Fuente celebrates as an unprecedented spectacle.
La Roja's spectacle extended to the four matches that followed, a succession that the author likens to Shakira's concerts, emphasizing the impossibility of missing any of them. Each game maintained the intensity that began at Wembley, consolidating the crowd's euphoria.
Show‑football, written in capital letters, dazzles, entertains and livens up any after‑dinner conversation, becoming a constant topic of discussion. Its ability to enrich the debate surpasses mere sport.
Compared with La Liga, La Roja's football appears more thrilling, leaving behind the early stigmatization caused by Barça's overflow. The rivalry with the domestic competition highlights the quality of the international game.
De la Fuente, the architect of the rebirth
Luis de la Fuente is described as the best coach of the course, undisputed, capable of polishing the team's second star. The “Wise One” uttered the slogan “Win, win and win again”, reflecting the squad's mindset.
Ballon d'Or controversy
The debate over the Ballon d'Or becomes contentious when Fabian is mentioned, who, due to his accumulation of titles, should lift it, although he is ruled out for being considered more practical than flashy. Attention shifts to Kylian Mbappé, whose lack of consistency at Madrid and his progress with France culminated in a 2‑0 semifinal loss to Spain, fueling doubts about his candidacy.
Messi also features in the discussion, despite the wishes of his supporters and coaches like Diego Simeone to award him a “Tribute Ball”. The player's Argentine blood remains a reference point in the analysis.
Keane cannot be compared with Rodri, and in the final mention only Lamine leads the debate category, according to the author. The text suggests that his victory would not be a sacrilege, although his World Cup was described as more of a pick‑and‑shovel affair than “brilli brilli”.
Everything done after July 19 elevates the protagonist at his club and in the national team, with no one able to surpass him. Unfortunately, the second performance in Seville arrived too late, as the voting closed on Monday.
